I'm looking into developing an ODK web app (in PHP). I'd like to be
able to import javarosa/ODK XML forms and would need to validate these
somehow. I believe there is no XML Schema (.xsd file) for the 'subset-
with-additions' of XForms that javarosa is using, which is too bad.
I'm wondering whether is possible to deploy ODK Validate as a web
service and use this service in my app. Has ODK Validate ever been
deployed as a web service? (If not, would this be hard?)
Validate is basically the Javarosa core library wrapped with a few
lines of code. Most of the Java ODK-compatible servers (ODK Aggregate,
CommcareHQ, etc) validate in that way.
XLS2XForm and the Python/JSON ODK-compatible tools also validate, but
I have no idea how they do it. https://github.com/dimagi/formtranslate
might give you some insight.
A third option is for you to lead the charge and create an .xsd. This
could also be something that others could use...

Thanks a lot for your replies and pointing me in the direction of
formtranslate. I think this could indeed work for me, at least as a
temporary solution (and would push me to learn a bit of Django and
Python). I agree that creating (and sharing) an .xsd would be the best
approach to follow, but don't think I'll have that much time...
I love this ODK project! I'll let you know if anything comes of my
endeavors to provide an alternative non-android offline-capable web-
based ODK-compatible data collection solution (a bit of info: http://blog.aidwebsolutions.com/an-introduction-to-rapaide/).
Cheers,
Martijn

This looks really cool. Dimagi has built an awesome web based xform
player called webforms which is worth checking out.

That sounds like something I definitely have to check out. I found it
on github.
Are you perhaps aware of any live instance of this player (to play
with)?
